    I try to love whatever it is I'm doing for a living. Right now I do. But it's pretty easy on this one, I'll admit.

    But what I do changes pretty god damn often. So it's always the honeymoon period for my work. The grueling, hate filled, exhaustive, honeymoon. Still. Trying to find the games in it. Trying to play.

    I am 2 months away from completing my degree and getting registered as a full-fledged super awesome social worker, which is what I really want to do with my life, which is awesome

    I play and coach volleyball, I write silly stories no one ever reads but me, I blog about long distance relationships, I frequently contemplate and reflect on the state of the world, I bake, I love painting my nails pretty colors, I read textbooks on psychopathology (assessment AND intervention) for fun, and I am going to start rock climbing once indoor volleyball season is over

    I am also a committee member for my local volleyball club and an online shopping addict

    but this is all stuff people already know about me so why am I telling you what you already know amirite etc

    I work in a kitchen on most days (started as dishwasher and am now half being trained to work the line). As a first job its fantastic (I'm 18, 19 in a few weeks which is a little late for a first job but whatever). Free food, great coworkers and I'm learning a ton not just about food and cooking but also general people skills and such.

    In my free time I write novels! Since I made my first sale of my first book I've been ecstatic about writing and cant get enough of it. It's what I've dreamed of doing since I was young, and now it really feels like a reality. It helps that my brother, now one of my roommates, has been super supportive about me writing and has actually started writing himself. He wants to take part in Nanowrimo with me this year which is great and we both cant wait for it.

    Recently I'm trying to get back into guitar and draw a bit here and there, but my skills in both of those fields is lack luster at best. However I try not to get discouraged, as I know its hard in the beginning with any sort of field.

    Since moving to Halifax and in with my brother and two roommates of his, shits been great to say to least. The city is much more interesting then the country side and I actually feel alive so to speak.

    You really think they make "living wage"?

    Most artists that are genuinely good don't make living wage on just their photos

    Damn Fuzz, that sucks that you couldn't find work in aerospace. It always seemed to me to be one of those jobs where it's awesome but also highly specialised and so you'd be in demand.

    And when I say seemed to me I mean my school careers advisor.

    Oh god that was my plan for tonight

    Mori goes and rents Rango on blu-ray and makes pizza and has popcorn

    I fell asleep at 5 pm and didn't wake up until 10 pm by which time Mori is completely wasted and unable to concentrate on the movie. He's now gone to bed and I ate two mouthfuls of cold pizza and nearly threw up so now it's ice-cream as it's the only thing I can stomach right now

    we failed so hard

    I do paralegal work for our Territory Education Department.
    I work out on a daily basis because being healthy is rad.
    I consume iced coffee regularly because I am shamelessly addicted to it.
    I play all most of the games.
    I draw a bit when I feel like it.
    I do the long distance relationship thing with my fiancée.
    I play the bass guitar.
    I can totally wiggle my right ear and move my eyebrows independently.
    I freaking love afternoon naps.

    Yeah, that really just comes off as incredibly petty. It's not as if those people are any kind of threat to a competent photographer, yet these ladies are bitching the fuck out over stuff that's really damn trivial.

    I don't even really have a passion for aircraft or anything, I just studied it because it sounded kinda cool and required the sort of marks I was expecting to get from school.

    I hated the study towards the end and I basically just powered through getting average marks for everything because I'd gone that far, may as well finish it.

    With my current studies, I am really noticing the difference between that and studying something I actually want to do. The work is a lot less stressful and I'm getting much better marks.
